How to File a Roof Insurance Claim in Louisiana: A…
For most Baton Rouge homeowners, a roof replacement is not a scheduled home improvement project.…
For many homeowners, roofing is seen only as a collection of shingles, but the true longevity of a home is found in the metal transitions that protect its edges and openings. At FCB Roofing & Sheet Metal, our “Overview of Custom Metal Solutions” represents a commitment to precision engineering that goes far beyond standard, off-the-shelf hardware. From our local fabrication shop on South Choctaw Drive, we design and build integrated metal systems that solve the specific structural vulnerabilities of Louisiana architecture, ensuring every valley, chimney, and eave is sealed for a lifetime.
Our custom solutions are available in a wide array of high-performance materials, allowing us to match the specific architectural style of any Baton Rouge neighborhood. Whether you require the timeless, evolving beauty of architectural copper for a historic Garden District estate or the sleek, modern durability of Kynar-coated 24-gauge steel for a contemporary build in South Rouzan, we provide the expertise to guide your selection. Our materials are chosen for their ability to withstand high-velocity winds, intense UV exposure, and the corrosive humidity of the Gulf Coast.
Standard flashing and trim often fail when faced with the complex rooflines, steep pitches, and unique masonry found in premium residential designs. Our overview of custom solutions includes bespoke fabrication for complex transition points where three or more surfaces meet. By hand-soldering and custom-bending our metal components, we eliminate the “gaps” that lead to phantom leaks. We specialize in creating seamless connections between different roofing materials, ensuring that your custom metal work is both a functional shield and a visual highlight.
Water management is the most critical function of a South Louisiana roof. Our custom metal solutions include specialized gutter systems, conductor heads, and oversized downspouts designed to handle the massive volume of water produced by our afternoon thunderstorms. Unlike standard lightweight aluminum gutters, our custom-fabricated systems are built from heavier gauges and feature reinforced mounting points. This ensures your drainage system remains secure and functional, protecting your landscaping and foundation from the erosion caused by uncontrolled runoff.
The core of our custom metal solution is our ability to control the quality of the product from start to finish. Because we maintain an in-house fabrication shop right here in Baton Rouge, we eliminate the delays and sizing errors associated with ordering parts from third-party suppliers. This vertical integration allows us to provide a level of accountability and speed that other contractors cannot match. When we say a piece is “custom,” we mean it was measured by our inspectors, hand-crafted by our fabricators, and installed by our master crews.
William and Michael worked with me to give me a hassle free smooth encounter. They explained the process before hand. They answered all my questions. They cleaned up all the debris once the installation was completed. They also told me to call them if I had any problems. The cost was the best estimate that I had received. The finished product was immaculate.

We have been a staple of the Baton Rouge roofing community for over 10 years. Unlike "storm chasers" who disappear after the weather clears, we are a locally owned and operated company with a permanent physical location. We’ve built our reputation on a decade of honest work and standing behind every project we complete.
A standard roof uses pre-cut, thin-gauge aluminum flashing. A custom metal solution from FCB involves hand-measured, 24-gauge steel or copper components that are fabricated specifically for your home’s dimensions, providing a tighter seal and a significantly longer lifespan.
Yes. While it is most efficient to install custom metal during a full roof replacement, we can often retro-fit custom chimney caps, awnings, or decorative accents to your existing roof to solve recurring leak issues or to boost your home’s curb appeal.
Actually, it requires less. High-quality metals like copper or Kynar-coated steel are designed to be "maintenance-free." Aside from occasional debris removal from gutters or chimney screens, your custom metal work is designed to outlast the shingles surrounding it.
Many contractors use 26 or 29-gauge steel because it is cheaper and easier to bend by hand. However, it is prone to "oil-canning" (visible rippling) and wind damage. Our 24-gauge steel is thicker and requires heavy-duty shop machinery to bend, resulting in a much flatter, stronger, and more professional finish.
The choice usually comes down to aesthetic and budget. Copper is a "lifetime" material that patinas over time and is ideal for historic or luxury homes. Kynar-coated steel is a more cost-effective option that offers a massive variety of permanent colors and excellent durability against the Louisiana sun.
Choosing a contractor is about more than just the lowest bid; it’s about choosing a partner you can trust to protect your home for decades. At FCB Roofing, we’ve spent over 10 years perfecting our craft from our headquarters on South Choctaw Drive.
